The artist known as Jasso paints high energy abstracts with oils and acrylics on canvas. Wild patterns and vibrant colors are prevalent in his work, and his paintings often take on a sculptural quality; abstract shapes and deliberate shadows come together to create forms that are reminiscent of complicated origami.
“In my paintings I like to use a lot of light and try to use strong colors,” he explains. “I like to create structures and figures.” Jasso clearly delights in his work. His pieces have a playful aspect; he has the rare gift of knowing how to communicate humor through abstract visuals, and he uses that ability to his advantage. Jasso’s work bursts with life and energy, and it is clear that he has vision and direction. Each work of art is intricate and intense, immediately capturing the viewer’s attention and slowly drawing one through the piece.
Jasso was born in Mexico and currently lives in Mexico City. He has exhibited his work in thirty exhibitions in three years.
